SunAge: Battle for Elysium

This game is terrible, i really wanna play it and like it but i cant, the controls are terrible, infact some of the worse ive ever come across on a RTS, nothing does what u want it to, u can tell a squad to attack another squad and they'll just re-organise their formation because the enemy isnt within firing range. MOVE TO THE UNIT AND ATTACK IT LIKE WHAT ARE WE DOING. terrible pathfinding. the game is riddled with bugs and crashes, u can completely skip objectives by accident and complete missions even though uve not done the original objective, wasted 10 mins following all the other objectives to build up an army to attack a base just to skip it because u moved a unit somewhere u wasnt supposed to yet. okay. other missions u cant even complete because its just crash city. i tried playing this a few years ago, came bk to it today, still garbage.

A real classic

this game is too good...is so sad it is a stand alone game with 0 activity anymore, i remember the original version from 2007

Campaign Really wild.

This game has the spirit of classic RTS games, but with enough little changes to make it its own beast. For one thing there's a ton of units per 'troop' so you are usually commanding squads rather than individuals. A lot of people complain about the control scheme which is different to a typical Star Craft idea of circling and clicking a destination, but this game has a scheme closer to Total War where you command your team to move in formation and you can't just select random far off points. I find this makes the combat feel more personal as you can literally tell how far your units can attack and there are certain units who assume new forms to deal with new situations (troopers can kneel down and become snipers...etc). Clicking units will select all of a team but you CAN select and move all your units by holding shift and surrounding them with the mouse. I figured that out entirely on my own! The graphics are really pretty for 2D sprites. This puts Star Craft to shame in terms of variety of doodads. I quite liked the sun-soaked post apocalyptic tale which waffled sometimes between poefaced bravado and dark humor. Music is great. Sound effects pretty decent. This is not a game…

I dont get why this game is not in the best game charts. The story is good. Gameplay is good enough. 3 factions just like cnc 3.
